That’s the issue: I wish it was an exceptional situation, but it hasn’t been for a while. And it will keep happening as we (Traffic Engineers like myself, and die-hard transportation planners who abhor cars) continue to encourage active transportation as an alternative form of transportation.

I absolutely read the article. And I take issue with the following:

Might be one of the most ridiculous takes I’ve seen. It doesn’t matter who is at fault if the helmet has the ability to protect you from death.

It’s an easy crutch to lean on when his original argument dies on its face.

Not to be pedantic, but the interiors out of the 60-series cars are definitely (and intentionally) different. There’s a lot more leather, wood (or carbon fiber, in this case), and design in the 90-series cars.

Show me a car that’s not put together with all of its components pre-assembled (most of it more than likely in China) for final production. I’ll wait.

I wonder if the boulder came before or after the bright yellow paint everyone seems to ignore.

That cost savings will be reflected in build quality, that’s a guarantee.

So you’ll draw the line at a car, but everything else is cool?

I do not lament that it has an interior from Volvo. Volvo’s interiors, especially from the 90-series cars, could belong in cars twice as much.

Continues to be the most ignorant statement on the internet.

So it looks like the embargo was lifted on the Polestar 1 . . .

Feels more like a 7/10 to me . . .

Because calling someone an asshole makes you look brilliant. Go back under your bridge.

Which major component was that? The summon feature that doesn’t work, is beta at best, and therefore not a saleable product?

So two-thirds of the auto industry (by sales, manufacturing, whatever) have now joined the Executive Branch. This is where it gets interesting.

Under GAAP, you’re not allowed to book profits on a product that doesn’t exist. It’s not profit.

They also booked $30M in “profit” on full self-driving capability, a product that doesn’t exist yet. Discounting that, it’s a net loss of $21M.

$50 grand for a Ford. The word has certainly changed since my parents’ 1987 Mercury (di)Sable(d).

You have far too many stars for such a stupid comment.
